Henrik Shipstead

Henrik Shipstead (January 8, 1881 – June 26, 1960) was Norwegian-American dentist and politician who served in the United States Senate from 1923 to 1947, representing the state of Minnesota. He served first as a member of the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party from 1923 to 1941 and then as a Republican from 1941 to 1947.

Few members of Congress in American history were more consistent in opposing US foreign interventionism, despite not believing himself to be an isolationist and voting in favor of declaring war on Japan after the Attack on Pearl Harbor. He is also noted for his antisemitism and support of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.
